Dear G C Jayakumar, as per RBI’s gudelines, no Bank can ask for penalties on loan switch over or closure.
Thanks

But most of the banks like SBI one of the leading sponsors of home loan have themself abolished takeover charges as per the guidelines of NHB.
But circulars of NHB says that they should not levy any kind of such charges on takeover.Please refer DBOD.No.Dir.BC.107/13.03.00/ and NHB(ND)/DRS/Pol-No.51/2012-13 Dated Aug 7,2012 circulars and report your opinions.
Hi,
Generally, banks levy some penalty charges (say 1%-2%) when a loan is re-financed from other banks. Whether you need to pay 1% penalty would be written in Terms & conditions while you have applied for the loan. Please re-read the T&C again.
